Street Theatre: A Night of French Cabaret
We all know the Toulouse Lautrec paintings of the man in the hat, black cape and red scarf: now you can you hear some of the original songs of that man, French cabaret singer Aristide Bruant and his peers Jules Jouy and Maurice MacNab, together with later artists Damia and Piaf. A little Satie, Milhaud or Poulenc may sneak in. A rare opportunity to enter bohemian Montmartre the roots of European cabaret.

Street Theatre: A Night of German Cabaret
A unique performance tracing, through the words and music of Bertolt Brecht and his musical collaborators and peers, the journey of German artists from the 1920s to the ascendancy of Nazi Germany and their various exiles and returns. The biting texts of Brecht and Tucholsky, and the powerful music of Eisler, Weill, Hollaender and others have no finer exponents. This is a manual for resistance and survival – alas no less pertinent now than it was 80 years ago.
